BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) " A Romanian weightlifter who won a bronze medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics could lose his medal after failing a doping test. Gabriel Sincraian, who won bronze in the men's 85-kilogram category in Rio, tested positive for excess testosterone, the International Weightlifting Federation said Thursday. The test was connected to the Olympics, the IWF said without specifying exactly when it was taken. "There is no final decision as regards the measures and/or sanctions relating to (Sincraian's) Rio Olympic Games participation yet," the IWF said. Romanian Weightlifting Federation president Nicu Vlad said Sincraian had been under a provisional suspension since Sept. 30 over the failed test, and that it could be linked to supplements he had been taking.
